OPEN A DOR FOUNDATION

Loodor is proud to partner with the Nilsson Open A Dor Foundation to support today’s youth. The foundation helps youth navigate the undercurrent of this modern world, paved by new realities and influences, to transform self-worth and support mental health. Thus, Open A Dor builds upon one’s character to bridge their potential. 

FROM THE FOUNDATION

Today’s youth are engulfed in a mental health crisis. Factors include social media, cyberbullying, and the ever-evolving definition of "real" transparency. The reality is, we are facing a developmental crossroad. We must educate kids about their footprint while reinstating basic skills and kindness. The world looks different now. Collective success equally depends on one’s ability to silence self-doubt while becoming impervious to digital persecution.

The foundation prioritizes direct engagement among kids. The mechanisms utilized to reach adolescents varies based upon age, geography, and prior exposure. We are intentional with our footprint and consciences of the work necessary to fully connect with today’s youth.

“We, as individuals, have ignored these issues for far too long. It is time to take action. We can no longer sit idly by and watch our youth become less than who they could, or should, be. If we allow these problems to continue, it will affect the future of our workforce and our nation.”

LEADERSHIP TEAM

Open A Dor is governed by a board of trustees. The leadership represents a broad range of backgrounds with experience across business, public policy, adoption, law, community development, communications, production, and publishing. The 501C3 foundation was formed by industry leaders who are determined to open a door for the next generation. 

The foundation funds content, school programs, and activities that instill self-worth, offset the effects of social media, and educate youth about the power of words, including the “HOO Are You?” education platform.
